Beauty is What You Make of It

Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, but that doesn't mean that it's without meaning. The fascination with beauty is part of our DNA and really much more than the reason for rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills and other tony locales. It has power, but it's not as superficial as some assume.

There's no denying the fact that a person most people would consider physically attractive can obtain a number of societal advantages, as unfair as it may seem. At the same time, our very experienced board-certified plastic surgeons work very hard to try and brace patients for the fact that, however much a given procedure might improve their appearance, their lives will not be instantly transformed as a result...at least not right away.

Yes, our type of highly effective Beverly Hills plastic surgery can work wonders at times, and it certainly won't hurt a person's confidence. At the same time, at the end of the day, a person with plastic surgery is still the same person they were before the procedure. Yes, society gives us plenty of reason to work on our appearance, but the improvements we can make in our life is largely as a result of what we choose do with it. Ultimately, it's all on us.

If you are ready to see what you can do for yourself with an improved appearance, then it might be time to call We Know Beauty at 310-300-1500. We're here to help.

Be a Sleeping Beauty

If, like most of us in the Beverly Hills plastic surgery community, you're a beauty aficionado, you're probably aware of the fact that Angelina Jolie's new film from Disney, "Maleficent" opens today. It's a retelling of sorts of the classic 1959 animated "Sleeping Beauty," film from the point of the view of the villainous but beautiful witch who curses a princess to a potentially eternal sleep. (Spoiler alert: charming princes seem to be something of an antidote.)

The movie is getting mixed-to-negative reviews and it'll be interesting to see how the film does at the box office. The main reason we're mentioning it is that, while we love "Sleeping Beauty," we love beauty sleep even more.

The fact of the matter is that Americans work more than people in most other countries and our home lives are pretty busy and stressful as well. In the squeeze for time, sleep gets short shrift, and that's a shame.

The very important health benefits of getting enough sleep aside, who among us hasn't noticed that truly good night's sleep can be the closest thing there is to a facelift in Beverly Hills? Indeed, while many prospective breast augmentation clients might lose sleep over whether they'd like a gummy bear breast implant or some other product, they might be doing just as much good for their appearance by sleeping a bit more.

There are, of course, a number of reasons why sleep improves our appearance, such as preventing dry skin, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Still, we think what sleep does in terms of improving our mood is even more important. When we feel better, we look better.

Of course, there's only so much proper rest and a good mood can really do for your appearance. If you'd like to take your attempts at improving your appearance to another level, the top cosmetic practitioners of We Know Beauty are ready to help. For a free initial consultation, give us a call at 310-300-1500. We'll do what we can to make you both a sleeping and a waking beauty.

Why We Care about Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery

If you've been anywhere near a celebrity news web site this past week there's one thing you've almost certainly seen. That's speculation about whether or not Kim Kardashian has taken advantage of Beverly Hills plastic surgery and gotten herself a nose job in advance of her wedding to superstar rapper Kanye West.

Sure, the speculation is fun, though it's not always possible for even the best plastic surgeons to be completely certain about whether or not surgery has been obtained just on the basis of a few photographs. The real question, however, is this: why is it so important?

After all, in a better world, we wouldn't compare ourselves to people who are much better known than us and who happen to have been genetically advantaged with both good looks and some money in the bank. What's really going on here?

Whatever else they are, and however they may have become famous, celebrities are reflections of ourselves. If Ms. Kardashian took advantage of a cosmetic procedure then, on some level, it makes it more thinkable for ourselves or others. Humans are social animals and it's impossible for us not to be influenced by what others are doing.

At the same time, whatever we do on behalf of our appearance, we should do it for ourselves. Really. Fortunately, if you're really do want to do something for yourself, from revision rhinoplasty to liposuction or buttock augmentation, the leading edge specialists of We Know Beauty are here to help. Just call 310-300-1500.
